The Barbell Reverse Grip Bent Over Row is a compound exercise that targets the muscles in the back, particularly the lats. This exercise also engages the biceps, shoulders, and core muscles.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Reverse Grip Bent Over Row, follow these steps:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and hold a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up), hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips to lean forward until your torso is about parallel to the ground. Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the movement.
3. Pull the barbell towards your lower ribs, keeping your elbows close to your body. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. Slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to use proper form, engage your core, and focus on squeezing your back muscles during the movement to maximize the effectiveness of this exercise. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper technique before increasing the load.
